* When connecting up the above thermocouple, test readings were about 150° above actual temperature, however, once I disconnected the (power?) link between 4 and 5 on the PID controller the readings were accurate once I had adjusted the offset by 1.5°. Not sure what this does but it seems to be ok from all of the tests I've run. | * When connecting up the above thermocouple, test readings were about 150° above actual temperature, however, once I disconnected the (power?) link between 4 and 5 on the PID controller the readings were accurate once I had adjusted the offset by 1.5°.

===Flashing error code '''orAL'''=== | |||
This morning (after not using the controller for 1 month), when powering it on it displayed flashing error <code>orAL</code>. I couldn't find a definitive reason for the code so using the [[Media:Sestos PIC controller manual.pdf|Sestos PID controller manual]] I compared the controller settings against the manual default settings, they were wildly out. I couldn't see a factory reset option so I sat down and reset all the values to the defaults. Very tedious. After powering cycling the controller, it still showed <code>orAL</code>. However once I put the thermocouple into hot water and set the temperature, the error code stopped and the unit is not working fine. Don't forget to calibrate the controller after you do this. | |||
